    I use a SS tip on my rods, there isnt any ceramic inserts, havent broke or messed one up yet.

    Stop reeling your bait/lure up into the tip.

    Otherwise - go with something like a recoil tip that has no ring like P. suggested.

    was thinking about that...does it cost any distance on long casts ?

    Ive got another rod that has all SS except for the tip..( american rodsmiths)

    I havent noticed any lost casting distance our any other "side effects"
    I also have not had one fail either!
    You can buy a 5 pack of them for under $5 too
